IMPROVEMENT IN PLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 210,728, dated December10, 1878 application filed November 25, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES URIE, Sr., of Evansville, in the county ofVanderburg and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Plows; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters ofreference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a plow embodying the improvements in myinvention. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same, and Fig. 3 is asectional plan view of the upper end of the curved standard.

This invention has relation to plows; and consists in the improvementsin the construe lion of the same hereinafter fully described, andparticularly pointed out in the claims.

A represents the goose-neck beam or ordinary curved standard and beam inone piece. The standard G is made flush with the landside, and has afrog, B, and extends upward to form a curved colter. It is secured tothe curved beam A near its bottom, and also the land-side and the pointis beveled to form a lap.

A brace, E, connects the mold-board F and the laud'sidc Gr, and preventsthem from being forced from their places. Handle-braces h h, perforatedat their upper ends, are secured to the curved standard A by the upperbolt, a, and to the plow-handle H by bolts i. The bandles H are pivotedto the beam at their points by a bolt, 7c.

A slot, 1', in the curved beam A permits the curved standard 0 to beadjusted to elevate or depressthe plow-point I by simply loosening ortightening the out (I, first having turned the set-screw e to permit itto be done, and afterward turning the set-screw c to hold the point inthe position to which it has been ad justed. The curved standard 0 is\l-shaped in cross-section, the rear of it forming a neat and compactbearing for the beam, which is snugly fitted to it. The handles H arealso adjustable by means of the bolts Having thus fully described myinvention, what I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States, 1s

2. In a plow, the combination of the curved standard U, slotted at c,with the hook-bolt b, nut d, set-screw e, and curved beam A, constructedsubstantially as and for the purpose set forth.
